Chainguard products
Chainguard Containers
The gold standard for secure infrastructure. Chainguard provides the world’s largest catalog of Zero-CVE container images, rebuilt daily to eliminate the “patching treadmill.”
Production Images: Gain access to specific major/minor versions with enterprise-grade SLAs and FIPS-validated variants.
Custom Assembly: We help you build bespoke, minimal images tailored to your specific application requirements while maintaining a zero-vulnerability baseline.
Distroless by Design: By removing shells and package managers, we help you reduce your attack surface by up to 97%.
Chainguard Libraries
Security shouldn’t stop at the OS level. Chainguard Libraries provide malware-resistant, hardened versions of the most common open-source dependencies for Python, Java, and JavaScript.
Malware Prevention: Protect against dependency confusion and malicious injections.
SLSA Level 2 Compliance: Every library comes with verifiable provenance and high-fidelity SBOMs.
Chainguard VMs
Extend your secure baseline to the host layer. Chainguard VMs are minimal, zero-CVE virtual machine images purpose-built to serve as optimized container hosts in AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Chainguard Containers
The Industry Standard for Zero-CVE Infrastructure
Chainguard Containers are minimal, hardened images built specifically to eliminate the “patching treadmill.” By utilizing a distroless architecture—removing shells, package managers, and unnecessary bloat—these images reduce the attack surface by up to 97%.
Always Fresh: Rebuilt daily from source to ensure they remain at Zero-CVE status.
Optimized Performance: Multi-layer intelligent builds ensure faster pull times and lower storage costs.
Production-Ready: Support for FIPS-validated workloads and specific major/minor versions with enterprise-grade SLAs.
Chainguard Libraries
Malware-Resistant Open Source Dependencies
Securing the OS isn’t enough; you must secure the code your developers import. Chainguard Libraries provide a guarded catalog of Python, Java, and JavaScript dependencies built on SLSA Level 2 hardened infrastructure.
Stop Malware at the Source: Protect against dependency confusion and malicious injections by using libraries built entirely from verified source code.
Active CVE Remediation: Unlike public registries, Chainguard actively patches critical vulnerabilities in older library versions, allowing your team to stay secure without being forced into disruptive version upgrades.
Full Provenance: Every library comes with high-fidelity SBOMs (Software Bill of Materials) and cryptographic attestations for total transparency.
Chainguard VMs
Minimal, Secure Container Host Images
Extend your security posture from the container to the host layer. Chainguard VMs are the first virtual machine images purpose-built to act as minimal, threat-resistant container hosts for cloud and on-prem environments.
Eliminate Host Toil: Purpose-built for ephemeral workloads, these VMs remove legacy components and unnecessary services, drastically reducing the engineering time spent on host-level CVE triage.
Multi-Cloud Consistency: Standardize your infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP with optimized images for managed services like Amazon EKS or self-managed compute.
Continuous Compliance: Meet FedRAMP, PCI DSS, and HIPAA requirements by default with a host OS that tracks the upstream Linux stable tree and is continuously updated.
